GEEETech i3B/C (METAL version): LCD Box

thingiverse

Hi, now GEEETech proposes the Acrylic Prusa I3 pro series B for single extruder and C for dual extruder with metallic parts instead of original printer ones. Quite immediately I've ordered the upgrade kit to improve the stability and quality of my already not-so-bad printer unfortunately the customization I've designed for the plastic version of this printer cannot be used on the metal one so I've started designing a completely new customization starting with all lessons learned from my original customization! One of the infinite lessons learned from my original customization was the position of LCD panel. With the original GEEETech Top Mount position any action on rotary encoder can introduce a little noise on frame stability and this is not really good! So I've chosen for my new customization to move the LCD bottom ahead of front acrylic plate in order to avoid any vibration/movement of frame in case of action over rotary encoder. In the same box I've also moved the main power contact that was complex to operate on my desk due to position where I normally take the printer and together with LCD is really nice! I've also decided to put a wood base under my printer in order to keep printer locked and avoid any frame movement during printer displacement so I primarily designed my new LCD box to be screwed on this wood. In this new LCD box you can find: 1. All components of LCD box with also power switch and LED control. 2. Optional components for people who do not have wood where screws all. 3. The protection for cables with complex components in multiple versions: a. Normal that need support to be printed. b. In 4 versions that can be printed without any support and blend to final form. As usual in all my designs I've split everything into easy-to-print parts and also an easy mounting after print! If you fall in love with this design please remember that it takes time to be created designed and shared so maybe you can use the tip designed button on my profile.
